I believe this is intentional - it is showing a keyboard shortcut ctrl + / I believe to open up the search bar. Perhaps the caret symbol is what is confusing non-macOS users. @cchaos I see this was added in https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/127903, pinging for visibility.

I am going to re-assign this to the core team since they own that code - feel free to re-assign though!

I agree with @jloleysens, I think it's the keyboard shortcut hint. On macOS, the symbol shown refers to the Cmd + / shortcut:

Tagging the Platform Design team just in case they want to revisit the design to avoid this confusion.

[cchaos]

Correct this is a symbol based visual for introducing the keyboard shortcut. I concluded this from PCMag that states:

The caret symbol is a common symbol for Control; for example, ^Y means Ctrl-Y.

If it's truly that confusing, for Windows users we could spell out CTRL but we have the full text in the footer of the search dropdown.

@elastic/appex-sharedux is it ok to close this issue since it's by design?

I'll assume so. Closing.
